Best Melee Starter Build For Early Game in Armored Core 6

This Melee starter build for Armored Core 6 is based on delivering and exchanging melee attacks while also dealing some ranged damage over time to keep enemies closeby and at bay. The right arm and shoulder house a great napalm bomb launcher and a massive plasma missile launcher, respectively. The left arm is the one that gives this build its name. The left arm features a PB-033M pile bunker and the left shoulder the HI-32 pulse blade, which is actually a main arm weapon. To do this, purchase the Weapon Bay upgrade in the OS TUNING shop to be able to do this.

Once you do, you will be able to swap both melee weapons assigned to your left arm and shoulder, allowing you to continue dealing melee damage while your other weapon recharges. Combine this with the EL-TA-10 arms and you will have the best combo due to its extremely high Melee Specialization stat. Moreover, the KASUAR/42Z will allow you to move faster toward your enemy and the AB-J137 booster packs a great Melee Attack Thrust value.
